NOBLES, Lewis Sanders	1760-1856  MONTGOMERY

LEWIS SANDERS NOBLES, a Revolutionary soldier, is the ancestor of a large 
number of people in Irwin, Coffee, Berrien, Atkinson and Clinch counties. 
 He was born in 1760 in South Carolina and was living with his parents in 
Edgefield District when the Revolutionary struggle began.  At the age of 17 
years he ran away from home to join in the fight, and served several months 
under Gen. Elijah Clark.  He later served other enlistments totaling about 
four years, and was in the battles of King Mountain, Brandywine, and 
Yorktown.  After the war he married Esther (commonly called Easter) 
Robinson, and moved to Georgia.  To Mr. and Mrs. Nobles were born the 
following children (order of birth below, being approximate):

1. William	b. 1784? m. (wife unknown).
2. James	b. 1785? m. (wife unknown).
3. Matilda	b. 1786? m. Joshua Sharp, R. S.
4. Rebecca	b. 1788? m. William Jones.
5. Lewis S. Jr.	b. 1799? m. Margaret Patterson August 2, 1812.
6. Levicy	b. 1792, m. David Sears April 19, 1810.
7. Leonard	b. 1795, m. Susan ______
8. Calvin	b. 1797? m. (wife unknown).
9. Easter	b. 1799. m. John Tucker October 29, 1816.
10. Jesse	b. 1801, m. Nancy Fountain April 24, 1823.
11. Mary	b. 1803, m. James Partner June 25, 1923.
12. Levi	b. 1805, m. Lucinda Spires, May 11 1828.
13. Watkins	b. 1808, youngest child; went to Texas, fought in Texan War of 
Independence and was granted land for his service.  Wife unknown.

Mr. Nobles and family lived for some years in Montgomery and Laurens 
counties.  Mrs. Nobles died about 1840 in Montgomery County and Mr. Nobles 
spent his last years among his children.  He was living in 1850 Census with 
David Sears and family in what was at the time Clinch County but now 
Atkinson County, and was 92 years old.  He soon after made his home with 
his granddaughter, Mrs. Juniper Griffis, and died at her home in Clinch 
County, November 1st, 1856.  He was buried in Guest Millpond Cemetery.  The 
grave was marked in 1950 by John Floyd Chapter, D. A. R.
Lewis S. Nobles was paid April 8, 1785, by the State of South Carolina, for 
a mare lost in the Revolutionary War.  He served as a lieutenant in the 
South Carolina militia, 1778.  He drew land in both the 1827 and 1838 land 
lotteries as a Revolutionary soldier.  He made application for a pension 
November 14, 1854, while residing in Clinch County, but it was rejected for 
lack of proof.  However, descendants are eligible for membership in D.A.R., 
S.A.R., etc., inasmuch as he was granted land as a Revolutionary soldier.
Record is found in Laurens County of deed dated October 25, 1813 from Lewis 
Sanders Nobles and Esther, his wife, to Seaborn Jones, conveying two 
hundred acres "whereon the grantor now resides" in said county, and also 
another tract of 200 acres adjoining which he had granted from the State 
(Deed Book "D", page 7, Laurens County).  Another deed is found to the same 
lands from Lewis Sanders Nobles and his sons, William, James and Sanders 
Nobles (identified as father and sons) to Seaborn Jones, dated November 3, 
1814, (Deed Book "D", page 222).  Just why the last deed was made does not 
appear.
NOTE: Miss Ellen Louise Sumner, Pearson, Georgia, became the first person 
to be accepted into the D.A.R. on descent from Lewis Sanders Nobles.  Her 
National Number: 378460, John Floyd Chapter.

Census References: 1790, Edgefield District, South Carolina; 1850, Ware (in 
portion cut into Clinch same year).
